Seven Types Of Breasts And Finding The Right Bra For Each

By Mummyfique Contributor
August 3, 2016

Breasts come in all shapes and sizes: some are big, some are small, some are perky while others sag. It is probably fair to say that no two pairs of breasts are the same. We have discovered, however, that there are generally seven types of breasts (according to bra company ThirdLove) and with this year’s Breastfeeding Week underway, we thought that it would be a good idea to learn more about our lady goods that work so hard (if you happen to be breastfeeding) to produce food for the little ones. Read on to discover what sort of breasts you have and find out which is the perfect brasserie for ample support.

3. East West

Description: Breasts that don’t seem to want to face each other with the nipples pointing outwards.

Recommended Bra: East West breasts often leave a big space in the middle so it is best to wear bras made out of stiffer fabric and that have more narrow centre panels to help push the breasts in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Round

Round shape

Description: These breasts are very round and equally full on the top and bottom.

5. Side Set

Description:
 Side set breasts are slightly fuller than their East West counterparts but still have a wide space between them.

6. Slender

Description: Slender breasts are round but slightly less full at the top.
